You've said it well. Honolul...Thanks, Justin. You've said it well. Honolulu magazine's editor is just another anti-railer who can't comprehend what you've written. Without rail in SF, NYC, Chicago and cities around the world, highway traffic would be even worse! Honolulu rail will reduce congestion somewhere between 15 and 20 percent, according to the FEIS, and that has to be good.Doug Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191683240304122047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937602330391830242.post-51205453244710518952010-09-08T10:53:23.526-10:002010-09-08T10:53:23.526-10:00I'm trying to spread this meme around. Transit...I'm trying to spread this meme around. Transit will always be a failure if it is measured in terms of how congested the roads are- look at, for instance, New York City. The most well-developed transit system on the continent, and they still have rush hour.<br /><br />Transit doesn't directly alleviate traffic congestion for drivers. It creates a class of people (transit riders) who no longer have to care about traffic congestion, a class of people that anyone can join for a couple of dollars.Allie Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388778275254352958noreply@blogger.com
